The Kraken is very large, and Abathur specially brought in a heavy artillery governor to give Xue Hua a clear reference.
In front of Kraken, the giant whale-shaped body of the Heavy Artillery Governor, which was nearly 20 kilometers long, looked like a goldfish in a fish tank. The length was less than a few tenths of one of Kraken's tentacles.
Abathur told Xue Hua that Kraken's body has a long axis of more than 60 kilometers, about two-thirds of which are those huge tentacles, and the remaining one-third is Kraken's body.
Kraken's body has a huge space that can accommodate a medium-sized insect nest operating within it.
There is a huge oval chamber behind its head, which is a huge biological space like the transport chamber inside Leviathan.
Kraken has a biological energy leap system in his body, which allows him to independently travel over long distances.
This behemoth-like beast has two forms, one of which is the black and gray "awl" that Xue Hua saw before.
Abathur refers to this form as "dormant form".
In the dormant form, Kraken will not operate other systems except the normal operation of the mobile system, and the body surface will secrete a super-powerful liquid cuticle that can quickly harden.
Once this cuticle is completely hardened, even the main guns of human battlecruisers cannot destroy it, and it has extremely terrifying defensive power.
Kraken will automatically enter a dormant state when crossing over to avoid the short period of weakness after crossing over.
Outside of his dormant form, Kraken now displays what Abathur calls his "active form".
In this form, Kraken will unleash all his firepower and possess extremely powerful combat effectiveness.
However, Abathur told Xue Hua that because the swarm fleet now has two main biological battleships, the Heavy Artillery Governor and the Brood Lord, with powerful offensive capabilities, plus the Leviathan that is about to complete hatching, the swarm fleet is actually in
The firepower against the enemy is absolutely sufficient.
Therefore, the Kraken is not equipped with a "main gun" in the conventional sense.
Its main means of attack in Star Wars are actually those long and thick tentacles.
In other words, this is actually a biological battleship that relies on close combat.
"Close combat?" Xue Hua looked confused.
You know, in an interstellar fleet battle, under normal circumstances, the distance between the two fleets is very, very far, and the specific position of the other fleet cannot even be observed with the naked eye.
In this case, a kind of biological warship for close combat... can it rush through?
Faced with Xue Hua's doubts, Abathur used a simple method to explain it - the evolution task.
A virtual screen appeared in front of Xue Hua, and soon his consciousness was devoted to this evolutionary task.
This time, Abathur did not choose any planet as the main battlefield, but directly placed the battlefield in a vast star area.
Xue Hua controls a huge swarm fleet with more than a hundred heavy artillery governors and brood lords, thousands of corruptors, countless mutant dragon prowlers, and five Kraken.
And his opponent was the Xel'Naga squadron that he had seen in the images brought back by Stukov before.
Xue Hua's goal is also very simple.
Just completely destroy this Xel'Naga fleet.
Following Xue Hua's spiritual introduction, the two fleets immediately began to take action. They had already discovered each other and began to prepare for long-range firefights.
The swarm fleet locked the target with the help of the super-long sight range of the Overwatch King Insect, and the heavy artillery Governor with a longer range opened fire first!
Balls of fire flew out from the muzzle of the secondary battery on the side of the heavy artillery governor, and there were also a lot of main gun fire mixed in.
The double-headed eagle snake in the Xel'Naga fleet also quickly launched an attack, and thick red beams of light were shot from a distance.
In the silent universe, brilliant explosions flashed violently, and the red light beams ejected by the double-headed eagle snake were completely blocked by the largest Kraken in the swarm fleet.
The five-headed Kraken were all in a dormant state at this time, and the black-gray cuticles all over their bodies were completely unscathed by the blows of these red light beams.
On the other side, the Heavy Artillery Governor's plasma cannon fired into the Xel'Naga fleet, immediately causing large-scale destruction. Although most of those destroyed were small conch-like biological fighters and large Xel'Naga biological battleships.
They were all protected by shields, but in the end it was the Xel'Naga side that suffered the first battle damage.
In the first round, the insect fleet was completely victorious!
As the exchange of fire continued, the fleets of both sides began to slowly close the distance in an attempt to improve the accuracy of the artillery fire. At the same time, they also used the small and medium-sized biological fighters in the fleet.
When the distance between the two sides reached a certain level, the mutalisks and prowlers in the insect swarm immediately swam out surrounded by the large group of corruptors and quickly approached the enemy fleet.
Similarly, the Xel'Naga fleet also flew out a large group of shell and conch shell biological fighter jets to attack the alien dragons.
The small fighter units on both sides are fighting inextricably.
Those small shell biological fighters have much stronger defense and almost the same speed as the Mutalisaurs, but they are far less numerous than the Mutalisaurs.
The combat effectiveness of the larger shell-shaped biological battleships is equivalent to that of the Corruptor, and they all belong to the same level as heavy frigates.
However, the Prowlers in the Insect Air Force shine brightly on this battlefield where small and medium-sized battleships and fighter jets engage in firefights. Their ultra-high movement speed and extraordinary destructive power can often cause huge damage to their opponents.
After a battle, the losses of small fighter planes on both sides were similar, and the second game was considered a draw.
At this time, the main fleet groups of both sides began to approach, and the brood lords in the insect swarm and the giant bird warships with insect heads in the Xel'Naga fleet began to enter effective attack range.
Streams of terrifyingly destructive purple twisted beams of light shot out from the thorns rising from the back of the insect-headed battleship, blasting towards the insect fleet.
And large groups of self-destructing flying brood worms also flew out of the hatching holes in the brood lord's abdomen and swarmed towards the Xel'Naga fleet.
The brilliant light flashed, and lavender light spots scattered in all directions. Kraken, who was blocking the front row, firmly turned his body horizontally and blocked all the battleships in the rear.
Those terrifyingly powerful twisted beams that once split the sea hit the Krakens, pushing their bodies back and forth, but in the end they still failed to break through the Krakens' strong defenses.
The outer protective cuticle of several Kraken was shattered, but new liquid cuticle was immediately secreted out and quickly hardened into a new cuticle.
On the other hand, a large number of self-destructing brood worms poured into the Xel'Naga fleet. After a bright green light flashed, more than a dozen three-headed eagle-snake battleships and four insect-headed giant bird battleships were eliminated on the spot.
In the third round, the insect fleet was completely victorious! (To be continued)
